When Oliver was alive, he never liked anyone else to sit in his car, not even Anastasia. Even tagging along was unacceptable. Miles knew Oliver's habits best, but he allowed Rose to use Oliver's car. Anastasia got into the car with a face full of doubts.
In Miles' office on the top floor of the Young Group, an assistant was reporting the arranged schedule for the day, confirming everything up till the afternoon.
"Mr. Miles, you have a dinner scheduled with Thomas Chambers at seven." Thomas Chambers was the head of the Chambers family in Regalia. Although the Chambers family didn't venture into the business world, they had an esteemed reputation in politics. The Chambers and Youngs had always had a close relationship. Miles had something to ask for at tonight's dinner but...
"Seven is too late," Miles murmured.
The assistant was puzzled. 7:00 p.m. for dinner wasn't late. He didn't know that Miles wasn't referring to dinner time.
Miles then said, "Change it to noon." Changing it to noon would allow him to go to the Regalia Grand Theatre earlier in the evening.
"But Mr. Miles, you should rest at noon..." The assistant couldn't hide his concern. Miles' workload had recently been immense, and no matter how good his health was, he might not be able to hold on.

Jonathan cleared his schedule since Rose was going to the Regalia Grand Theatre in the evening.
Yara was on set, shooting a scene. It was evident she wasn't in the right state to shoot after several cuts. The helpless Algernon had no choice but to have her rest for a while.
During the break, a call cthrough from Bella Maize, Yara's aunt. Yara knew she was calling about Jonathan. She answered the phone and blurted out, "Does Mr. Finch want to see me?" Bella was startled. She then smiled. "Pretty much. Your Uncle Yosef found out he will be at Regalia Grand Theatre tonight, so you can see him there." Would Jonathan be watching a show? He had to have plans with someone in such a setting. Was it... Rose? Yara perked up when she thought of Rose. She hung up the phone after saying, "I understand, thank you, Aunt Bella." Just then, Algernon cto the minivan to ask her to continue the shoot. "Ms. Maize, you've had enough rest. Shall we continue? Tonight's scene is crucial, and all departments are working together. We might have to stay up all night..." "I'm not shooting anymore," Yara coldly interrupted before Algernon could finish.
As Algernon was momentarily stunned, Yara continued, "Mr. Chapman, please step aside. Mia, where's the chauffeur? Tell him to drive." Yara looked urgent, clearly leaving no room for discussion.
Algernon snapped back to reality. "Ms. Maize, what about today's shoot if you leave?" Today's schedule was set to shoot Yara's crucial scene. He had coordinated all departments, and if she quit, they would inevitably suffer quite a loss.
"Just film someone else's scenes." Yara forced a smile. If she didn't need to maintain her image, she would have told her assistant, Mia Woods, to drive Algernon out.
She gave Mia a look. Mia was reluctant, but she had no choice but to ask Algernon to step aside.
The car drove away, leaving Algernon frowning behind. Yara was crowned as a renowned international actress, but she clearly had no professionalism.
If it were any other actress, he would definitely blacklist her. But besides being a renowned international actress, Yara was also the daughter of the Maize family. Her family had capital, and this movie was backed by The Finch Group with specific instructions for Yara to play the lead.
"Alas!" Algernon could only swallow his anger and resentment.
In the minivan, Yara easily got a spectator ticket through the Maize family's connections. But as the showtapproached, she only got a regular seat ticket. As long as she could get in and possibly run into Jonathan, the seat didn't matter.
Next, Yara hastily selected her clothes, matching accessories, and bag on her tablet. Everything was set and ready to be worn by the tshe returned home. To present her best self in front of Jonathan, she arranged for an in-hskincare treatment.
After getting ready, she looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile on her lips. "If Mr. Finch is meeting Rose, my look will definitely outshine her." Meanwhile, at the Young Estate, Yvonne repeatedly reminded Rose to dress nicely, but Rose didn't take it to heart.
Today's star was Yvonne. Rose wore a simple white T-shirt with jeans. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she bad light makeup on, looking just like when Yvonne knew her.
At 6:00 p.m., Rose left the Young Estate and got into the car. She was surprised by the car's interior. "This car... She wasn't surprised by ne its luxury but by the presence of sof Oliver's belongings inside. There were a pair of glasses a tobacco pipe, and a spare cane.

Elmer knew about Rose, Oliver's new granddaughter, but he had never interacted with her. He knew nothing about her temper and was only aware that Rose was extraordinary. Miles even ordered Oliver's car for her use and specifically instructed that this car would be used to pick her up in the future. But this car...
was more than just a car! Elmer carefully glanced at Rose through the rearview mirror. "Ms. Rose, I'll move these items elsewhere once we reach our destination."
"No need! Leaving them here is fine!" Rose gently touched the items. This was Oliver's car. The items were still a reminder of him even though he wasn't here anymore. The Regalia Grand Theatre was exceptionally lively today. The Finch Group rarely sponsored such performances, and today, the sponsor wasn't just The Finch Group. Backstage at the theatre, the theatre's supervisor and leader of the dance troupe were grinning from ear to ear. "I heard someone from the Finches is coming today. Do you know who it is?" the theatre's supervisor eagerly asked.
The leader of the dance troupe replied, "Someone important is coming. It should be Mr Jack from Yosef's Family" Noah Finch, the MD eldest grandson of the Finches, went abroad after Jonathan took over the Finch Group. Moreover, the fourth grandson had always been mysterious. The public only knew of his existence and didn't even know his name. Only Jack, Yosef's son, seemed most likely to show up.
"It should be him." Even befriending Jack would be a significant deal.
"Should we personally go welchim?" "Yes. Let's go greet him in person." The two reached a consensus and arranged for a special passage, waiting to welcJonathan as soon as he arrived.
Most of the audience had entered the theatre after a long wait. Finally, a sports car stopped at the entrance.
"He's here! He's here!" The two eagerly welcomed him. They couldn't wait to flatter as soon as the person got out of the car. "Mr. Jack, take your time..." X
